Found the perfect dress to go with the embellished cardigan I shared the other day. Dress was taupe (nylon/spandex); now transformed with shades of soft citrus green, purple and black. Dye pot of wild cherry and alum in spring water; sprayed with a vinegar solution before layering with 3 kinds of eucalyptus and wrapping around an iron bar. Slow-cooked in a crockpot for 5 hours.
the call went out from the online group cloth paper studio for 2 more pockets from particpants
not a problem – i think they’re great fun to make
latest pockets (no. 3 + 4)
earlier pockets (nos. 1 + 2)
i love keys
they appear often in my mixed media work, which you can see on my other blog
this is the first time i’ve used one with crochet
for sale – click here
a series of drawings and ‘found’ poetry on rusted book pages
collectively, the poetry reads like this:
sweep the air within
song of rivers
overflowing sound today
warm green life

i’m currently working on some infinity scarves to sell
both these projects are being crocheted with a size 10 crochet hook , which is almost as thick as my little finger
however, one scarf is being made with a double thickness of yarn (purple and grey)
the other scarf uses only one thickness of a beautiful hand-dyed alpaca yarn, bought at the alpaca shoppe in deloraine tasmania
just goes to show how you can use the same size crochet hook and get a totally different effect!
for sale soon
